How to whiten my underarm? is it good to use tha baking soda process or just a lemon?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Leave it alone: Hi Gary 799. Your underarm (axilla) has a lot of oil/scent/pheremone glands and the hair is there to help spread your smell to attract other humans. I try to get people to embrace this natural part of themselves. Any treatments, particularly shaving but including anti-perspirants, can cause more trouble than you might suspect. Consult a dermatologist if you must proceed.
